Football Fish Part 2

Waves flush my face.
I can’t go to sleep without thinking of 
what comes after and what happens during.
I can’t stop crying and I can’t sleep, either.

I wish I were a football fish,
lightbulb atop my head forever.
Guiding the way for me no matter
how dark it gets underwater.

Ah, I can see that it would be a blessing for you, Ruby. I think sometimes I'd like to have a "lightbulb atop my head," too, especially when we lose power.
